Re: Setting default tomcat logger 5.0.28
I've managed to make some headway with this problem. I've moved my log4j.properties file over into the axis/web-inf/classes directory, and this catches all axis output, but what I want to know is how to direct all output to log4j. So, that initial startup stdout and stderr output to log4j. Is this possible? Thanks Ian Ian Wootten wrote: I'm having a right job trying to configure the default logger within tomcat. I want to use log4j and set it at a DEBUG level. I've added all the commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar packages to the classpath, but every time I declare the properties file I wish to use prior to these, it doesn't seem as if the log4j.properties file I want to be read is.

(Incidentally, I can't use Tomcat 5.5 due to restrictions on the software I'm going to generate). Log4J works fine standalone, I've built a number of apps with it, just not under tomcat it would seem. Can anyone make any suggestions?

RE: Setting default tomcat logger 5.0.28
Im looking to do the exact same thing. I tried adding a file named commons-logging.properties to my classes directory that contains the following line. org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger This doesn't do what I read it would do. I still have output to stdout.log. - B -Original Message- From: Ian Wootten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 11:38 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Setting default tomcat logger 5.0.28 I've managed to make some headway with this problem.
